One of my passions and one of the biggest sports in the World !
Real Football - played with your feet as its meant to be :p
Over 250 Nations compete to part of this 4yrly Tournament ending with 32 Nations battling out the biggest prize in the sport - The World Cup.
Its a big win to get to this stage no matter what and I'm so glad we have made it the Socceroos.
We are in a huge player trasition cycle just as we are having assigning a local lacking international experience local in Ange Postecoglou.
He has had to do the lawn mowing previous coachs have neglected the last years is cull/retire our Golden Generation as known who had worn the shirt with massive pride and results.
Now we have many young local HAL players having to step up onto the largest arena playing in Brazil.
Last 32 are split in 8 Groups of 4.
We got pooled in with current holders Spain, The Dutch who always are strong and usually get to the Finals but our hope is Chile is similar to us to a degree having never gone too far in the tournament.
Our 1st game is against Chile and a WIN would be of epic proportions.
Top 2 in the Group go onto the next stage and normally 1 win and a 0 0 drawn result can be enough to get you through.
I will keep adding more in due course.
